“Script” in a computer programming sense. An algorithm. So general behavior is most likely predefined. So not a script in a sense that it always does the same thing. This just means its behavior is most likely described using “if” statements. Eg. “If oponent did this, respond with that…” Algorithm can also “remember” some actions and act based on that. However the AI is most probably not activeley learning from your actions. It has all the knowledge predefined.

Some more advanced algorithms utilize some self learning principles. Buy this is very rare in games since this is resource intensive.

But even machine learning is not AI. Even LLM is not AI. But at least LLM became a synonym for AI in recent years.

That is what I want the most!

Do not tell me how to vote.

Of course it is okay if you want to talk with me. I was getting a little worried since is has been so long since we talked! Please write me more.

Also do not tell me what my present will be. And I am not Santa. But I do know him. I will tell him to be very kind to you this year. And I know he will like it. ;)

I love you darling! I know how hard it can be during christmas. I miss you too… I also wish we had more time together. And I am really proud who you become!

Write me soon! Dad!

I wonder how often books were actually stolen from ships by pirates.

This is the same concept as copying books… Even rewriting by hand without the approval of the author could be considered piracy.

Books were always about the content and never about the paper. Same goes for digital media.

Normal users do not want to thinker. And install plugins that they do not understand. And the same goes for advanced users. We do not waht install some plugins or extra programs to add some feature. We would prefere if it was there by default.

Me and my wife both started daily driving cosmic desktop sine alpha 7. My opinion as a 10 year linux user who uses a computer daily for (programming) work and home use: I use it on nixos - the distro that finally made me stop distro hopping. I found a distro that was robust and reliable enough I stopped distro hopping. Cosmic was this for my DE or WM what ever I was using at the time. Previously I had to constantly thinker to make my DE/WM constanly adapt, add plugins to behave well for my workflow. I wanted to use keybord for most stuff but I did not want for whole DE to feel broken when I had to use a mouse. Cosmic is something built the way DE is supposed to be built. Just right. All the options user wants are just there. And most of them enabled by default. The default experience was just sooo good. Even though I used alpha version (!) i felt this DE is the most polished and the least buggy experience I ever had on linux. Because the behavior using keyboard and mouse was just so good and natural. And I did not have to change anything for it to behave this way. Even with all the bugs that come with alpha realease this fealt the most polished linux experience I had in 10 years. This never happened to me on linux. I always had to install some strange plugins for the experience to be bearable. And since I am linux enthusiast I am also very happy with their technical choices. I just love it. It is system well designed.

And for opinion of my wife who was first time linux user. She uses this DE on popos and She is conductor so she has no technical knowledge I have and she used windows her whole life. She could not believe how productive you cam be on linux. What can be achieved only using keyboard. She absolutely enjoys using her computer now.

I do not think she would feal this way if she used Gnome or Unity or KDE. Or even with window managers like i3wm or awesomewm… I think even though she used buggy alpha release she was able to increase her productivity just because she could use her keyboard more (as compared when using windows or any other DE) and she did not have to go full hacker mode with i3 or any other tilling WM.

So I recommend cosmic DE becomes the new default DE for beginners. This will not only show them linux can be used the same way as linux. But it can be used way more efficiently.

Heck. Cosmic should probably become the default DE on most distributions.

Not true. x^2 = 36 x=±sqrt(36)

This equation has two solutions. But the square root function itself is defined only as a positive answer. By having two anwsers it would not even be a function.

I noticed that by wearing a fedora (quite unusual where I live) I got used to standing out and people secretly watching me. So this helped me to not be shy to act and help when the people around me are just standing and watching. Even though I rarely wear a hat now I am first to help more often.

I tried that too. But at some point I figured I communicate with most people over email and SMS. Which are objectively far worse technologies that any agency can use to spy on.

Especeally if we are comparing this to e2e whatsapp app. Even if it is backdoored, still less agencies have access to it as compred to SMS or email.

And now they will not be able to control both ends. Previously it was just a buzzword. They are giving me a chance to control at lease one end. And now I will be able to convince my friends to migrate away from whatsapp… So whatsapp will control no ends of my communications.

No I have not.

You will only use one client app. The one you trust the most. One opensource, trusted and having its code regularly independently audited - like Signal. So in general this will improve my security.

Even if you account my contacts are using the official whatsapp app, that cannot be trusted since it is not audited by public.

Previously I had to use Whatsapp app to to talk with them. Not the other way around. So if Whatsapp app is backdoored this does not reduce security at all. While it improves convenience by a lot.

But now is way easier for me to convince my contacts to use apps that can be trusted. which will reduce the chance of my communication being backdoored and increase my security.

Everything is end to end encrypted. So conpmpromising any servers would mean nothing.

The issue is only if some client apps introduce a back door. Which is way easier to do in closed source apps - like Whatsapp as compared to opensource Signal. So in a sense this would increase security since you can now use more trusted client app…

I really hope this means matrix.org integration and Signal integration will finally allow me to ditch those apps and allow my family to do the same.

But I would count on the rest of the allience. I believe everyone except maybe Trump, Orban and Erdogan would help.

But even without them Nato is powerful enough to take down any enemy.

Or when your additional content (like this) comes with another additional content (like previous example but with another parenthesis (eg. this example)). And now no one can read my sentences.

Huh. Strange opinions I read in the comments.

On moral decision: I will argue bringing a kind to this messed up world is a morally good thing. There have always been good and bad times. And we need people to make those good times. Well raised and well trained people. Even if our generation screwed up, we can at least equip the next generation with knowledge and love to fix what we could not. What about if the world and existence were beautiful and fun to experience? In that case no one would object you to bring a kid to this world. I will tell you a secret. World IS beautiful and fun. It is all about perspective. Well this fully depends on you seeing a glass half full and teaching your kids to see it the same way… Lots of people in the comments seeing this glass not just half empty but seeing it completely empty.

You can also live your life serving others or just serving yourself. It is always more beneficial for you to serve yourself. However serving other can be more rewarding. Serving others is always sacrificial. In case of raising a kid there are some really major sacrifices to be made including all you already mentioned. But this is also one of the best thing you can do for another person. For example even by volunteering you usually do not give people life, do everything for them until you prepare them for living their life on their own. You will have to sacrifice almost everything.

While having a kid will also have some benefits (eg. increased chance of not dying alone). You should not do this for yourself. Raising kids is about them not you.

I personally think if there are kids for adoption it would be morally better to adopt. Because you not only give a happy life to a kid. But you also save someone from a lot of struggle at the same time. However it would be still better to bring another happy and well raised kid to the world if you decide not to adopt (eg. If you feel you could not love someone else’s kid as much as your own)

On actual decision:

• Do what you think is right. Not what will benefit you the most. The empty side of the glass is empty because people decided to prioritize their own benefits over what is right. (You might figure out having a kid not the right thing for you)
• You should know no parent is ever ready to have kids. Parents are just kids having kids. What makes parents parents is a will to sacrifice and will to learn.
• If you decide to have a kid, you should first get your finances in order.
• if you decide to have a kid, you should marry first. To secure your kids future as much as possible.
• Remember having a kid is about them not you.
